To evaluate the differences in baseline chronic kidney disease (CKD) status in correlations between warm ischemic time (WIT) and acute kidney injury (AKI) or acute/chronic renal function change after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). This ...
INTRODUCTION: Warm ischemia time (WIT) is a primary concern for robot-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RALPN) patients because longer WIT is significantly associated with postoperative deteriorating kidney function. Tumor complexity, determ...
The aim of this study was to introduce the "ultrathin parenchyma" resection in a robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) via the retroperitoneal approach, and to assess the feasibility, security, and effectiveness of this technique. We collected ...
CONTEXT: Robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) is rapidly increasing; however, the benefit of RPN over laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) is controversial.
BACKGROUND: Simple enucleation (SE) has proven to be oncologically safe. We describe the surgical steps and report the results of the Endoscopic Robotic-Assisted Simple Enucleation (ERASE) technique.
INTRODUCTION: Intrarenal tumors pose a unique challenge to surgeons due to the lack of visual cues on the kidney surface. Intraoperative ultrasonography has facilitated the management of these tumors during minimally invasive partial nephrectomy. We ...
PURPOSE: To evaluate the impact of high body mass index (BMI) on outcomes following robotic laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (R-LESS) robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (RPN).
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive approaches to kidney transplantation (KT) have been described recently. However, information concerning perioperative management in these patients is lacking. Accordingly, in the current study, we describe our periopera...
